Uniform
Please note the uniform requirements for all music performances at Robertson SS:
- Formal uniform (pinafore for girls) with music socks.
- Students may wear flesh coloured tights with music socks over the top if the weather turns cold.
Please note that students in incorrect uniform may not be permitted to perform, so please get your child involved in having music socks and formal uniform (pinafore for girls) ready to wear for every performance!
Needed please - Spare music socks or pinafore your child has grown out of, our stocks of spares are low and we’d love a few extras in case a child forgets the correct uniform for performances or photos. Drop in to Mrs Gray, Mrs Thomas or Mrs Francis.
